Hi Everyone,
I have some software (for a laboratory instrument) that was purchased ~10 years ago and runs on a pentium comuter with Windows 3.11. However, I'm worried that the computer it runs on is gettting up in the years and could die on me at some point in the near future. Also, newer printers don't seem to support Windows 3.11 anymore making the computer less useful to me. The cost to update the software to run on a new version of Windows is ~$15k, which is an amount that I would like to avoid having to pay.
My question is, do new computers support software that runs on Windows 3.11? If not, are there any relatively easy/cheap ways to resurrect software that was written for an ancient O/S to something modern? I don't mind paying a few thousand dollars, but $15k seems excessive.
Thanks very much for any advice you guys can give me.
